CT Reps Vote – June 19, 2006

I love this title: Declaring that the United States will prevail in the Global War on Terror. The House voted on this and, whoa!, it passed! Unbelieveable stuff. There were many NO votes. Why? Becauase the vote was ACTUALLY to decide on: “support for U.S. efforts in the war on terror and rejecting a timetable for withdrawing troops from Iraq.” Misleading resolution title? Yup, word warfare in the House.

House: Declaring that the United States will prevail in the Global War on Terror
